Gabriels Fallen are a hybrid of early American metal and punk rock
from Southern California's South Bay. Following the lead of their
name-sake, Gabriels Fallen has been sent to proclaim the Second
Coming of rock, metal, and hardcore.
This four piece outfit hailing from the greater L.A. area is well
on it's way to accomplishing this monumental task. Fueled by the
genius of their many influences, (Avenged Sevenfold, Metallica,
Thrice, and The Misfits, just to name a few) Gabriels Fallen is
cutting a path through the local L.A. club scene. Igniting big market
venues like House of Blues, Knitting Factory, Key Club, and The
Whiskey with unparalleled stage presence, and packing the house
with its huge and frenzied fan base.
The band has already had the privilege of proving themselves a
worthy opener for idols Strung Out, Ignite, Circle Jerks and Hell
Within, and held its own with strange bed fellows Sugar Ray, Lit,
Reel Big Fish, Violent Femmes, and Psychedelic Furs, on New Year
Eve 2005. Gabriels Fallens much anticipated release "Hell Is
For Heroes" is generating eager industry buzz, and the slated
single "Man Above" has become a huge crowd favorite.
The band is young, passionate, ready, willing and able to live
up to the hype. Ready to sound the note and give the call. Ready
to carry the torch, and bring their brand of music to the masses.
Starting out in mid-2004 longtime friends Steve Huante, Victor
Braden, and Dave Gray decided to start a new band that would be
"noticably different" from any other group to come out
of the South Bay. In August of the same year, they decided to bring
in another guitarist, Chris Saunders, to help fill in with melodies
while Steve worked on intensifying his blistering guitar solos.
Sharing their passion for both punk rock and early heavy metal,
Gabriels Fallen, bored with mainstream and commercial rock, decided
to return to the old metal style they loved as kids and fuse it
with their take on modern punk rock.
Contrary to popular belief, Gabriels Fallen is not a religious
or Christian band, the name does however have religious ties, the
name claims that Gabriel, the right hand of God, sick and tired
of his life of servitude, all the rules, restrictions, and limitations
forced upon him, turned his back on heaven, forever falling to Earth.
